Janus Henderson - 2020 Interactive Annual Report

Annual Report 2020

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

2020 was an unprecedented year. Global markets and investment performance drove a 7% increase in assets under management to US$402 billion, despite challenging net outflows of US$24 billion. Investment performance remained solid, distribution gathered momentum and our financial results were strong. Our people’s resilience and tireless efforts have made us a stronger company as we continue to make significant progress on our path to achieving Simple Excellence.
